Rhu-Berry Pie

It's rhubarb season here in Philly and the plant in my yard is very happy this year! Bloggy buddy Lori shared a recipe for Blubarb Jam and while that's still on my to-do list I used it as the inspiration for this Rhu-Berry Pie. I thought the berries would be great for adding some color since my rhubarb is green. Oh, and they tasted pretty darn good too... The bites with blueberry were amazing:@)

I rolled out the top crust and just cut it with a pizza cutter, then made sure there was a little space between each piece so the pretty color could show through. While it still has a summer holiday feel, it was a little easier to put together than my Forever May She Wave pie HERE.

Rhubarb has a flavor all it's own... I encourage you to give it a try.

Even though the boys were concerned about my changing their beloved rhubarb pie, this received great reviews!And there isn't any leftover...

Hi Lynn, When we were kids we would cut a stem of rhubarb, then split it open and eat the inside. It was sour but juicy and I still love rhubarb, especially with strawberries. I'll definitely try blueberries with it now! Linda

Your pie is beautiful, Lynn! I have been making a lot of pies lately. I purchased a book called Ms. American Pie Buttery Good Pie Recipes and Bold Tales from the American Gothic House, and it has stimulated my creative juices. I also have a 300+ page book on making pies and I'm learning how to make a yummy and attractive pie. I think you would enjoy the book. I read it in a day and a half! We have rhubarb, and I've given some away but haven't made anything with it thus far. Have a great week!

Your Rhuberry pie with your pizza wheel slices and star center looks beautiful Lynn! Rhubarb is something I've never had or cooked before. I keep telling myself I'm going to change that and your pie looks like a delicious way to start :)

Your starburst pie looks incredible, Lynn! I'm so glad the boys loved the pie. Having no leftovers means it was a winner, but sad for you not to have any to have for your lunch today. Guess that means, you'll be making another one! I sure wish I could try your pie since I've never had rhubarb. Hope you have a wonderful day!

Oops, lost my comment... Thanks for the shout out Lynn. The jam, while great, isn't nearly as mouthwatering as that pie is. Yummy. I like what you did with the top crust. If only I could make a decent crust. Maybe when we move I will try making one again. The counter tops are granite so that may be helpful.

Next week we will have arrived in Maine where there will be lots of rhubarb. I love the idea of combining it with berries and I just happen to have some wild Maine blueberries left from last summer in the freezer. Your pie is sure to be a hit at my house.
